Maritime and Multimodal Infrastructure Preservation
Multimodal transportation systems are critical infrastructure components that are essential to promoting and preserving the nation’s economic health and general societal welfare. It is generally understood that the present operational status and condition of many critical transportation infrastructure systems are considered unsatisfactory even under normal service level demands. Rapidly growing commerce places a heavy burden on the aging infrastructure of the multimodal system, which already struggles with capacity issues.
